Society of Physics Students

The Society of Physics Students is a national organization for physics students and their mentors. Emory’s chapter of SPS welcomes all students with an interest in physics and physical science, and holds regularly-scheduled meetings in the department where members can exchange ideas and get to know one another and faculty members in a relaxed, informal setting.

SPS provides an excellent forum for learning about research opportunities in the department as well as broader topics in the field. Officers are:

President:	Ben Bluth
Vice-President:	Alexcis Brown
Secretary/Treasurer:	Randi Palmer

Members of SPS host the Physics Department’s Annual Spring Picnic, usually held the day after the last day of classes where they unfailingly organize the annual volleyball game “Students against All Others.” All physics majors and minors are encouraged to join SPS.

If you are an Emory Student:

The SPS Faculty Advisor is
Professor Keith Berland. Please
contact him for information about
joining and the date of the next meeting.
For up-to-the minute information on SPS meetings and events, please go to the Learnlink Conference ("Society for Physics Students"). This is an open forum for all members.
